On Pryor contract, ball is in Raiders’ court

During Tuesday’s PFT Live, Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor said he’ll join the team as soon as his contract is signed.

So where does Pryor’s contract stand, more than a day after he was picked by the Raiders in the third round of the supplemental draft?

We’re told that the ball currently is in the Raiders’ court.

It should be a fairly simple process, especially in light of the rookie wage scale. Given that Pryor already is way behind his peers, time would seem to be of the essence.

Whenever Pryor signs his contract, he apparently will be playing quarterback, at least for now. Apart from Pryor’s strongly-stated desire to remain at the position he has played since his sophomore year in high school (he previously was a running back), Paul Gutierrez of CSNBayArea.com said on PFT Live that the Raiders will indeed put Pryor at the quarterback position.

Pryor is clearly not ready to take on a quarterback position in the Arena Football League nevermind the NFL, big risk little reward. I’m sick of hearing about him and Ohio State when OSU hasn’t been a relevant D1 powerhouse in quite some time. There’s a reason why he is no longer at the university.

You’re just out of your mind to say OSU is no relevant. They have been to and won more BCS bowls than ANY other team, they are 6-3 bud. Sure, they lost two National Championships back to back years, that hurts, but come on, not relevant? In those games, they have beaten the SEC, Big 12, Pac 10, and ACC. Wait and see how TP will suprise you, everyone is sucking on Cam’s teets, if he can be good, why is such a stretch that TP can?

I continue to hear how this kid is not ready for the NFL. How is he no less prepared that Cam Newton? He played in the same type of spread offense, but played more years that Cam. I am not a fan of Pryor but I think he has the tools to be just as good if not better than Newton. Go Steelers!

gotta laugh, who told you that the ball is in the raiders hands….contract is very simple …it is what it is …..UNLESS Drew is asking for more…Raiders are not offering anything less, unless they do not want to pay for the half the season he is suspended for….Maybe raiders would like a 5 year deal becuase of suspension, but I am not sure if that is possible with the new cba…the deal is pretty much black and white nowadays…thank you J-Bust.

What does a college being a powerhouse or not have to do with anything? Did Brees come from a powerhouse? Eli? Peyton? Ben Ben? Air McNair? Favre? Cutler? McNabb? But you would prefer powerhouse QB’s like Lineart, Palmer, Tommy Frazier, Jason White, Henne.

Regarding that 40 time for Vick, that speed has translated into a losing record in the playoffs and one year where his passing yards exceeded 3000. And when he did finally bust 3000 yards, he bettered it by an impressive 18 yards. Atlanta got Vick. San Diego got Tomlinson and Brees. Who got the better deal?

lol team of the decades. not only does it not make sense, it makes you sound like an idiot.

nobody cares about Oakland other than their rivals. everybody else likes to have things to laugh at, you know keep the comedic relief in their everyday lives. that is where the raiders and their organization steps in.

It’s funny how people love to get on here and bash the Raiders. Yeah, it’s been really bad these past ten years, but last time I checked, there’s still only 4 or 5 teams in the league with more super bowl rings than the Raiders. Every team goes through periods where they have a few down seasons. We’ll be back. It’s just a matter of time. So, go ahead and keep hating. It’s nothing new.

31-4 as a starter

TAKE YOUR TIME RAIDERS! Hes next years 3rd rd pick that we get to groom a year early. Hit the books (Playbook) and watch and learn in practice. A full year of learning and throw him into the competition at QB next year.
RAIDER NATION!!!!!!

I like his confidence and yet he seems to understand that right now it’s not about him. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders despite his earlier transgressions. I have high hopes for this guy…I watched him break down plays on the show he did with Gruden. This is a bright kid. The only issue is if he has the fortitude to do what is necessary in improving his mechanics and that he can handle being athletically challenged for the first time in his life.

I also noticed 1)Pryor is very, very elusive behind the line of scrimmage; 2) responds superlatively to broken plays while improvising for either a completion or run; 3) runs like a back with no hesitation; 4) throws a great long ball; 5) is a tad inaccurate though nothing like JaDumbass who consistently threw bullets into the ground 10 yds in front of the receiver; 6) has superior height . Decent pick that didnt really cost anything.

if the pats or colts or packers made this move the media would be saying how great the move was and it was a genius move,,,
But of course the raiders made this great move so the media pretends its a bad move..
Think about it…Before he went to the raiders all these media guys were saying how great Pryor is and its such a steal to get him then the raiders get him and now he sucks???
I call BS and the same old raider bashing

The point is that San Diego was able to get a Hall of Fame RB and a very good QB who has a chance to be in the Hall as well. The Falcons got a guy. He’s a fast guy, but just a guy none the less. While San Diego got to win the AFC West a few times, what did the Falcons get. They got Ron Mexico. You have to agree that in retrospect, Atlanta got the short end of the stick.

“Osu not powerhouse ??? quit smokin crack I don’t even lik osu but there nice n as for ur sec no one has beat em not jus osu dummy.. if ur gonna post use ur brain”—->
